VAWA Self-Petitioners and Inadmissibility

Your VAWA self-petitioner client now has a current priority date and wants to file for adjustment of status. Does she qualify even though she has a retail theft conviction? What if she entered the U.S. with a fake passport? Or departed the U.S. after overstaying her tourist visa and then returned without inspection? Is she inadmissible? If so, can she overcome the bar? To learn more about the special rules on inadmissibility grounds and waivers that apply to VAWA self-petitioners, join CLINIC attorneys Susan Schreiber and Kristina Karpinski for a 90 minute webinar addressing these issues.
